I am a long time Milwaukee tool fan, I have 10 M18 and 4 M12 tools, I thought this would replace my older Milwaukee grinder. but this grinder has a serious design flaw. I have been using my other Milwaukee grinder for years, and never felt the need to have the guard installed. There was always enough room to use it two handed.
The handle on this is 1.5 inches shorter, and without some kind of shield it scares me. There are many times the guard gets in the way, or you can't see what you are doing. So I had to figure out a way to protect my hands, but still be able to see what I am doing. So I modified the guard, and will never use it without the modified guard. The modification allows me to see what I am cutting, but still protect my hands.
I think this is a dangerous tool, they really need to redesign this tool, and make the handle at least 1.5 inches longer.
I thought this would replace my older plug in grinder, but that will still be my go to grinder. This new grinder will still have it's place, but only for small quick jobs.
